Historical Archaeology focuses on the relatively recent documented past, usually the last 500 years, and the emergence of the modern world. It is one of the fastest growing areas of archaeology, dealing with many exciting issues that shape the world we have inherited today, and drawing together a rich and diverse range of material, documentary and landscape sources. You will have the chance to explore dynamic and globally significant themes, from capitalism to colonialism. You will gain practical training in analysing and interpreting evidence, from excavations and standing buildings to designed landscapes and artefacts. You will have the chance to develop knowledge and skills that will give you a head start in many heritage or historic-environments and other graduate careers and research. The skills you will develop on this course at York will provide an unrivalled insight into the past and present, and prepare you for a wide range of jobs and careers, as well as further research.
